Method and provenance
- Production method
- IRDR young scientists reviewed satellite observations, weather and river data, government sources including NDRRMA and DHM, and contemporaneous media reporting; the report states that no field data were collected.
- Provenance
- Prepared by six named IRDR young scientists with institutional affiliations and reviewed by three named IRDR reviewers; published by IRDR.
- Validation
- Named Expert Review
- Uncertainty
- The report identifies the source mechanism and chronology as a rapid interpretation, flags unresolved relationships among the breach, seismic signal, and reported sound, and notes that impact figures were changing.
- Limitations
- The analysis relies on secondary online sources and early satellite observations rather than direct field investigation, and its impact totals are a time-bounded snapshot.
